(iii)Attainment of age seventy and one half (70-1/2) on or after January 1, 1988 in which event distribution of the cash value of assets in his or her account shall begin not later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Member attains age seventy and one half (70-1/2) and shall be made over a period of fifteen (15) years or, if the Member so elects, over the life of the Member or the lives of the Member and the Member’s beneficiary under the Plan (including the Member’s spouse) in accordance with Section 401(a) (9) of the Internal Revenue Code and with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury thereunder and subject to such regulations as the Committee may prescribe.

(ii) if the Member’s sole designated beneficiary for the distribution calendar year is the member’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Member’s account balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury Regulations, using the Member’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the Member’s and spouse’s birthdays in the Distribution Calendar Year.

All or a portion of cash dividends paid on shares of Company stock in the Ford Stock Fund that have not been in the Plan continuously since January 1, 1989 shall be distributed proportionately to Members who have assets in the Ford Stock Fund on the dividend record date and do not reject such distribution.

 

The amount of such dividends that shall be distributed to Members who do not reject distribution shall equal the lesser of (i) the total of such dividends, or (ii) the total amount of dividends paid on all shares held in the Ford Stock Fund multiplied by the ratio of the number of Ford Stock Fund units in the accounts of Members who do not reject such distribution to the number of Ford Stock Fund units in the accounts of all Members, such determination to be made as of the dividend record date. The amount of such dividends that shall be distributed to each Member who has not rejected such distribution shall be equal to the total amount of dividends to be distributed multiplied by the ratio of the number of Ford Stock Fund units in the account of such Member to the total number of Ford Stock Fund units in the accounts of all Members who have not rejected such distribution, all determined as of the end of each business day that is a trading day of the New York Stock Exchange.

Distribution of such dividends shall be made as soon as practicable after receipt of such dividends by the Trustee.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, effective January 1, 2000, or as soon as is administratively feasible thereafter, (a) if a Member’s beneficiary is the member’s surviving spouse, if the member has elected a distribution schedule which had commenced by the Member’s date of death, the Member’s account shall continue to be paid to the surviving spouse pursuant to such schedule or, at the spouse’s election at any time, in a lump sum, and (b) if distribution of the Member’s account has not commenced as of the member’s date of death, the surviving spouse shall, for purposes of the distribution requirements and options under the Plan, be deemed a Member; except that the surviving spouse shall be deemed to attain age seventy and one-half (70-1/2) on the date the Member would have attained such age.

 

Effective January 1, 2003, all distributions made in the event of the death of a member shall be made in accordance with the regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury under Section 401(a) (9) Final and Temporary Regulations of the Code included herein, and subject to such regulations as the Committee may prescribe.

(i) Designated beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the beneficiary under Section XXIV of the Plan and is the designated beneficiary under Section 401(a) (9) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 1.401(a) (9)-1, Q&A-4, of Treasury regulations.

The required minimum distribution for the member’s first Distribution Calendar Year will be made on or before the member’s Required Beginning Date. The required minimum distribution for other Distribution Calendar Years, including the required minimum distribution for the Distribution Calendar Year in which the member’s Required Beginning Date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that Distribution Calendar Year.

(iv) Member’s Account Balance. The account balance as of the last valuation date in the calendar year immediately preceding the Distribution Calendar Year (valuation calendar year) increased by the amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated to the account balance as of dates in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date and decreased by distributions made in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date. The account balance for the valuation calendar year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the Distribution Calendar Year if distributed or transferred in the valuation calendar year.

April 1 of the calendar year following the later of: (a) the calendar year in which the employee attains age 701/2 or (b) the calendar year in which the employee retires, except as provided in Section 409(d) of the Code, in the case of an employee who is a 5-percent owner (as defined in Section 416) with respect to the Plan Year ending in the calendar year in which the employee attains age 701/2.

 

4. Miscellaneous

 

For purposes of any distribution of assets in a member’s account pursuant to this Paragraph X, the cash value of assets in his or her account shall be reduced by the balance of any loan made to such Member as provided in Paragraph XI hereof and interest thereon that is unpaid at the effective date of such distribution.

 

Subject to the provisions of Paragraph XVII hereof, and subject to such regulations as the Committee from time to time may prescribe, a member receiving a distribution pursuant to this Paragraph X may direct the Trustee to make distribution of the cash value of assets in such Member’s Ford Stock Fund account in the form of whole shares of Company stock and cash for any fraction of a share, such distribution to be at a price per share equal to the current market value of Company stock on the effective date of the distribution. The Member so directing the Trustee shall pay all applicable transfer taxes incident to the distribution of such shares by the Trustee, and the amount thereof may be deducted from the payment made by the Trustee to the Member.

 

Assets held for the benefit of an alternate payee pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by Section 414(p) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and Section 206(d) of ERISA shall be distributed prior to the date on which assets would be distributed to a Member if such order so requires provided that such order requires distribution of all assets held for the benefit of such alternate payee.

 

In the event that distribution to a Member or his or her beneficiary or beneficiaries cannot be made because the identity or location of such member or such beneficiary or beneficiaries cannot be determined after reasonable efforts and if the assets in such Member’s account for that reason remain undistributed for a period of one year, the Committee may direct that the assets in such Member’s account shall be forfeited and all liability for the payment thereof shall terminate provided, however, that in the event that the identity or location of the member or beneficiary is subsequently determined, the value of the assets in such Member’s account at the date of forfeiture shall be paid by the Company to such person in a single sum. The value of the assets so forfeited shall be applied, as soon as practicable, to reimburse the Company for its expense in administering the Plan. For such purposes, the value of the assets in such member’s account shall be determined as of the date of the forfeiture.

 

5. Rollovers

 

A Member who would otherwise receive a distribution may elect to have the Trustee transfer directly to an Individual Retirement Account (‘‘IRA’’) of the Member or to another employer’s plan in which the Member is a participant all or part of the assets included in the distribution, including Company stock, except (i) a distribution required to be made to a Member who has attained age seventy and one-half (70 1/2) to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code, (ii) the portion of the distribution that constitutes a return of the Member’s after-tax contributions that were transferred from the Tax Reduction Act Stock Ownership Plan for Hourly Employees when that Plan was terminated in 1989, (iii) effective for calendar years beginning January 1, 1999, an eligible rollover distribution described in Code Section 402(c) (4), which the participant can elect to roll over to another plan pursuant to Code Section 401(a) (31), excludes hardship withdrawals as defined in Code Section 401(k) (2) (B) (i) (IV), which are attributable to the Member’s elective contributions under Treasury Reg. Section 1.401(k)-1 (d) (2) (ii), or (iv) effective January 1, 2002, any amount that is distributed on account of hardship shall not be an eligible rollover distribution and the distributee may not elect to have any portion of such a distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan. Any transfer shall be subject to such regulations as the Committee from time to time may prescribe. The member shall designate the IRA or other employer’s plan to which assets are to be transferred and transfer shall be made subject to acceptance by the transferee plan or IRA.

Exhibit 4.1

 

 

Effective January 1, 2002:

(a) Modification of definition of eligible retirement plan. For purposes of the direct rollover provisions in Section IV of the Plan, an eligible retirement plan shall also mean an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code and an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan. The definition of eligible retirement plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relation order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code.

(b) Modification of definition of eligible rollover distribution to exclude hardship distributions. For purposes of the direct rollover provisions in Section IV of the Plan, any amount that is distributed on account of hardship shall not be an eligible rollover distribution and the distributee may not elect to have any portion of such a distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan.

(c) Modification of definition of eligible rollover distribution to include after-tax employee contributions. For purposes of the direct rollover provisions in Section IV of the Plan, a portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code that agrees to separately account for amounts so tr
